What now? Of all the things stainless excels at, cleaning certainly isn't one of them. Much easier to clean a nonstick or iron pan. The nice thing about stainless is you can use aggressive scouring pads or barkeepers friend etc to go to town on them at least, but stainless excels at adhesion and heat distribution and makes for a tougher cleanup.
I have been cooking on stainless for over a decade, if it's sticking or tough to clean you've done something wrong
Check the pan surface, it needs to be clean and smooth when starting, heat marks are good
When starting, don't add food till it's hot
Never use scouring pads, it'll create grooves in the surface that make food stick
Barkeepers friend is fine but a freshly polished pan will stick at first
Anything stuck to a stainless steel pan will come off with water, if it doesn't you probably cooked too hot
You are absolutely correct. I have no idea where all of this animosity towards stainless steel cookware is coming from. It's an absolute workhorse and doesn't need princess treatment like cast iron or carbon steel.
